    The document discusses anatomical planes, directions, body cavities, and abdominal regions. It defines three anatomical planes: the midsagittal or median plane which divides the body into right and left halves; the frontal or coronal plane which divides the body into front and back; and the transverse plane which divides the body into upper and lower sections. It then lists twelve anatomical directions and identifies the major body cavities including the cranial, spinal, thoracic, abdominal-pelvic, and others. Finally, it diagrams the abdominal regions including the epigastric, left hypochondriac, left lumbar, left inguinal, umbilical, hypogastric, right inguinal, right lumbar,
